Bill Gates Testified Before the U.S. Congress Regarding References to Him in the Epstein Files — Bloomberg
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates testified behind closed doors before a U.S. House of Representatives committee regarding the case of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
U.S. lawmakers are continuing a wide-ranging investigation to determine the convicted billionaire’s circle of associates and identify potential gaps in the work of federal law enforcement agencies.
Currently, the well-known businessman is one of the most influential figures in this high-profile investigation.
Before the official congressional hearing began, the billionaire briefly spoke with members of the media.
“I’m glad to be here. I hope my testimony will be useful for the committee’s important work in seeking justice for the victims,” the businessman told reporters before the hearing.
Members of the relevant committee from the Republican Party separately emphasized that, as of today, no official charges of wrongdoing have been brought against Gates.
The main focus of interest for U.S. lawmakers during the questioning was Jeffrey Epstein’s email correspondence dating back to 2013.
These archived documents allegedly mention compromising situations involving Bill Gates, drug use, and a sexually transmitted infection.
In addition to the Microsoft co-founder, previously released files also mentioned former British Prince Andrew, former Harvard University president Larry Summers, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, and Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black.
None of the prominent figures listed have admitted to any wrongdoing.
Bloomberg reports on this.
